Burned Out Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Dodie Clark
[Intro]
F5 Fmadd2 Fmadd4 (x2)

[Verse 1]
Fm
He was certain, so was I
Db
There was comfort in her sighs
Bbm
Dreams and ideas should not be the same thing
Fm                          C7
You waited smiling for this

Fm
Oh she’d want it if she knew
Db
She could take it, I thought too
Bbm
Be careful, be cautious but you just wished harder
Fm                          C7
You waited smiling for this

[Chorus]
          F                              Bb
“But they love you!” over and over “they love you!”
                           Dm
Thousands and thousands of eyes just like mine
C                       Dm
Aching to find who they are
         F                                  Bb
And they love you! oh you can feel how they love you!
                           Dm
Coated and warm but that’s all they can do
        C                         Dm
Words only get through if they’re sharp

[Instrumental]
F5 Fmadd2 Fmadd4 (x2)

[Verse 2]
Fm
Oh how fitting for one so fake
Db
Make me a fairy whatever it takes
Bbm
And just like her tale my dream was a scam
Fm                            C7
Oh you waited smiling for this

Fm
I am burnt out, I smell of smoke
Db
It seeps through her cracks, and so I start to choke
Bbm
Sentences sit in her mouth that are templated
Fm                         C7
You waited smiling for this

[Chorus]
          F                              Bb
“But they love you!” over and over “they love you!”
                           Dm
Thousands and thousands of eyes just like mine
C                       Dm
Aching to find who they are
         F                                  Bb
And they love you! oh you can feel how they love you!
                           Dm
Coated and warm but that’s all they can do
        C                         Dm
Words only get through if they’re sharp

[Bridge]
Fm                                                  Bb
Oh, I can just talk about it (I can just talk about it)
Fm                                              Bb
Maybe I'll talk about it (Maybe I'll talk about it)
Fm                                              Bb
I'll never talk about it (I'll never talk about it)
Fm                          Bb
No, I cannot talk about it 

[Outro]
Fm
Don't build hope on something broken
Fmadd2           Fmadd4
I am not cartoon
Fm
Cry for help I am not joking
Fmadd2                  Fmadd4
I might just leave soon.
